So, in a recent move, I was getting rifles out for the move and got reacquainted with a K1A1 I bought new some years ago. I laid it alongside an M4 style rifle and was surprised to see that with the stocks collapsed on both rifles, there really wasnít a big difference in length.

This begs the question: would I be well advised to sell it since M4 style weapons have greater support and after market parts?

Iím finding it hard to see any advantage to it since it is a DI weapon just like an AR.

Am I off my rocker?

The Woo is currently worth more than your average AR is. However, parts are tough to come by, so the AR will be easier to maintain.

The biggest problem with religion is those who claim to know Jesus, then turn around and deny Him with their lifestyle. That is what a unbelieving world, simply finds unbelievable.

Before you die, you should have a will with extra copies. The old saying "No one will screw you faster than family" is bloody well true.

If I was in your shoes and did not need the money, I would lose it in the safe for a few more years.

I had this conversation with a collector friend a few weeks back.. he thought I was crazy. If I score an exceptional rifle at an exceptional price, I am more motivated to shoot and enjoy it. Sooo... the rifle will lose value if I shoot it. O.K., let's say you bought the new/unfired $1800 rifle for $1000. If you shoot the rifle and enjoy it, the rifle is still worth $1500.

You are not going to break the dang thing at the range... this is a military grade rifle. Don't abuse it, and keep it properly lubed/maintained, and your investment will be sound, and you can have fun with it (and others can't/won't!).

If I like something and shoot it regularly, I keep it. If not and no sentimental value, I turn it and buy something that I will shoot. That being said, I have sold some really horrible guns that became collectible later and went up 5-10x what I sold them for. Would like the money now, but then I would not have most of the guns that I actually shoot as the money would not have been there to buy them.

I remember when the Daewoo rifles were the poor mans AR. Were quite popular up until they were import banned. The K2 side-folder rifles are about all you see anymore.

I own a Stoeger imported 'MAX I' which is more or less a K1A1 carbine. I picked it up dirt cheap at a gun show in the early 1990's. The carbines are quite rare and the one I bought used at the gun show is the only one I ever seen in in real life!

I plink with mine on occasion..but always found the wire stock not all that comfortable. Disturbs me when I push the button to slide out the stock and it comes all the way off!
